ABOUT THE RECORD
*return / repeat is about the things we keep circling back to when everything else falls away: love, presence, instinct, and the pull toward something larger than ourselves.
Across these songs, people leave and return, wake up to the moment they are in, follow an inner voice into darkness, recognize what is real, and wander back toward the wild.
Three songs are mine; two are reworkings of Mason Jennings and Chris Whitley. I made the record in New York with longtime collaborator Kieran Kelly, more than two decades after our first record together.
The return matters, but the record is less about looking backward than listening closely enough to hear what keeps calling you forward.
